The reported cases have occurred on one property in a group of thoroughbred mares without recent history of travel. Horses have presented with central nervous system signs including ataxia and weakness or paralysis of limbs. In several cases, affected horses were found laterally recumbent without previous clinical signs. All affected horses have been within adjacent areas of the farm, with either nose-to-nose contact or shared contact with equipment or handlers. Horses on this farm were up-to-date on EHV-1 vaccines, and vaccination history did not prevent illness.
